An 11-race maiden who is one of the more exposed contenders in the field and who has shown he has ability on some of his start, but who will need to find something more off his current weight.
Not disgraced when finishing fourth on handicap debut at Brighton last time out over a little further than this. Remains on the same mark now and is lightly-raced enough to suggest that there could be more to come.
Progressive type who got off the mark last time out at the ninth time of asking. Raised 4lb for that which seems a little harsh given it was only a narrow victory in a medium-sized field, but she is clearly going the right way and should be feared.
Off the mark two starts ago at Newcastle, but failed to make an impression in his following start at Kempton. Slight drop in trip is fine but others seem to be better handicapped.
0/7 in his career but has gone close on a couple of occasions, including when being beaten only by a runaway winner at Windsor last time. Seems well enough handicapped and his best effort to date came over this trip.
Fairly easily held in three maidens so far and makes her handicap debut off a mark which seems fair. Step up in trip should suit and the draw is fine for her.
Dropped 2lb from her handicap debut last time out when she finished 12/17. Steps up in trip now but will need to find improvement to get involved in this given the relative ability of some of her opponents.
Has run in eight races without really threatening to get involved in any of them, including in selling company. Races from out of the handicap here and cannot be recommended.
Performance at Lingfield over 5f was slightly more like it after two tame runs in similar events (one also at Lingfield, one at Wolverhampton). Interesting to see how she does stepped up in trip but is best watched on her handicap debut.
Showed little in three maidens before an equally unimpressive run on handicap debut. Races from 6lb out of the handicap now and it's unlikely that first time cheek pieces will bring about the necessary improvement.

It could be worth siding with ROYAL ICON here. Kevin Ryan's charge has been improving on just about all her starts so far including when finishing a good third in a maiden last time out. Today's conditions should suit and she could be one to keep on-side on her handicap debut. Golden Guest has given the impression he is well handicapped and therefore should also be considered, while Il Scilario ran well at Brighton last time out and could make another bold bid here.
